Counting Rows

I have a list of projects divided into sections. Each section can have projects that have sub projects. When I use this formula on a section header ="Current(" +COUNT(CHILDREN()) + ")" my result looks like this: Current (24). However, the count does not include the sub tasks. How can I write the formula so that it will include sub tasks as well?

    Greetings Gina,

    两个建议…

    1. Create another column that performs the following formula: =COUNT(ANCESTORS()) in each cell and hide it. Any result with Count(Ancestors()) > 0 is a child object in heirarchy. You could then write a COUNTIF formula, such as =COUNTIF([Column3]:[Column3],>1) to determine the number of child objects you might have.

    2. If you only want to count the Child tasks, and not the sub-headers for those sections, you may want to consider writting a couple of formulas in each sub-header/parent column: =COUNT(CHILDREN()) & from there running a SUM() on those cells.

    Hope this helps!

If you want to know the percentage over\/under the Contract Amount<\/strong>, your formula (placed the [Percentage] column) would be:<\/p>

=([Contract amount]@row - [Install Labor (actual)]@row) \/ [Contract amount]@row<\/p>

Be sure the \"Percentage\" column is formatted as a percentage. Positive numbers show that your total spend is under<\/strong> the [Contract amount]. Negative values show your total spend is over<\/strong>.<\/p>

You can use a similar formula to measure how far over\/under your [Labor $ (quoted)] amount is from your [Install Labor (actual)] amount.<\/p>

=([Labor $ (quoted)]@row - [Install Labor (actual)]@row) \/ [Labor $ (quoted)]@row<\/p>

Here, though, a negative value shows that you are OVER<\/strong> the estimate. A positive value shows you are at or UNDER<\/strong> the estimate.<\/p>

@v.winters<\/a> <\/p>

If the two percent columns are formatted as percent columns (see screenshot), then the % Not Complete column would have this formula: <\/p>

=1 - [%Complete]<\/em>@row<\/p>
